Summary:
With Cinco de Mayo finally upon us, we are unfortunately given a film to fit that audience. That film would be “Taco Shop.” Tyler Posey from MTV’s “Teen Wolf” and Eric Roberts from “The Dark Knight” headline this film. Set in Los Angeles, “Taco Shop” is an 80 minute cringe fest as it deals with two competing taco establishments. Throughout the movie, the film seemingly shoots random scenes that have no cohesiveness and our just filmed to make up a runtime that best suits a theatrical experience. This film is a comedy and it fails at delivering genuine jokes that should be making you laugh but instead our offensive or just downright not needed. The script for this film is atrocious as well as just about everything else. The only positives I can take away is Tyler Posey and Eric Roberts do their best to keep up with these amateurs as you can clearly tell the majority of this cast needs some acting lessons. Also, if you happen to be Hispanic or of Latino heritage, do not see this film as it repeatedly treats Hispanics like dirt and is conveyed through the mouthpiece of a degenerate white male. With that being said, “Taco Shop” should have never been made, but due to a cultural holiday we are given it anyway.
Score: 0.3/5
